You said, "Hello.... If you visit our home page (http://www.epnet.com) and click on the EXCEL version of any title list, you can then sort the list by publisher. This will tell you exactly how many (and which) titles (Sage) this will affect in each database that you currently subscribe to." When I tried to sort by publisher I got this message," This operation requires the merged cells to be identically sized" and would not do the sort. Any other suggestions? M.

If you visit our home page (http://www.epnet.com) and click on the EXCEL version of any title list, you can then sort the list by publisher. This will tell you exactly how many (and which) titles (Sage) this will affect in each database that you currently subscribe to. As for titles that will be added, we are in the process of compiling these. Many are contracted for inclusion, but have not yet been assigned to specific databases. We want to be sure that only appropriate, quality sources are included in the proper databases. The best way to gather this information regularly is to visit our home page, and more specifically, our title change report. The July title change report will be posted in August, and this will include some of the newly added titles that are deemed replacement for the Sage titles. For this list, go to: http://www.epnet.com/titlelists.asp -- If you scroll to the bottom of this page, click on Title Change Reports...you will be prompted for a User ID and PW. Please use: ebsco and ipswich respectively. Again, please visit this list in August for titles added this month....and visit regularly thereafter. I also hope to send more regular announcements to our listserv to keep everyone abreast of content enhancements. We tend to only send negative information to the group (which is rare, as I'm sure you know), and as a result many folks don't realize the vast amount of new titles added to our databases on a monthly basis. I hope this helps. Should you need further assistance, please call on me.

Sage is a publisher of scholarly journals. These journals will be replaced by full text journals of appropriate quality. Most Academic Search Elite replacements will take place in the near future and prior to the Fall (to avoid turmoil during one of the key parts of the academic year). Academic Search Premier, Business Source Elite, and Business Source Premier replacements will occur as we are able to license appropriate substitutes. All of the Sage journals in databases have had full-year embargo periods at the request of the publisher. They will be replaced by journals with the same length of embargo or by journals with a shorter embargo (and in some cases, no embargo). In addition, some of the journal replacements will include a significant backfile of data. For example, both Duke University Press and Marcel Dekker (two prestigious academic publishers) have just signed a license with EBSCO to provide full text access to many of their journals via EBSCO databases. Duke has given EBSCO permission to include very long-runs of some of their journals in PDF. Other exciting new publisher agreements will be announced shortly. EBSCO is in the process of evaluating which Sage journals we will continue to index and abstract. We will make an announcement about this as soon as possible.
